Alan Dershowitz announces departure from Democratic Party, cites DNC as reason for disillusionment.

Alan Dershowitz, a well-known lawyer, left the Democratic Party due to several "anti-Jewish" politicians in the party and the recent Democratic National Convention where Vice President Kamala Harris was nominated as the party's presidential candidate.

On "Talkline with Zev Brenner," Dershowitz criticized the DNC for legitimizing anti-Israel speakers and protesters at the gathering.

""I was disgusted at the Democratic National Convention," he said."

"He stated that he was no longer a Democrat and had become an Independent. He mentioned that he would not disclose his presidential vote until after November 1st. His reason for this was to observe how the administration handled Iran and to encourage them to support Israel."

The Harvard Law professor emeritus announced his departure from the party, which he had been planning for a while, gradually resigning over time.

"A lot of things influenced my decision," he stated. Dershowitz pointed out that Harris' failure to preside over a joint session of Congress during an address by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was a significant factor.

Some Democrats skipped Netanyahu's speech as a form of protest.

He said that the convention held in Chicago last month was the final straw that pushed him over the edge.

He labeled Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, and Rev. Al Sharpton as anti-Israel and accused of antisemitism.

Anti-Israel protesters outside the gathering called for the destruction of Israel, he said.

"That's not my party," Dershowitz said.

The attack on Israel by Hamas on Oct. 7 has caused a sharp division among the members of the Democratic Party, with some refusing to condemn the terror group and blaming Netanyahu for Israel's military response.

While urging Israel to exercise restraint, many Democrats have disregarded holding Hamas and Hezbollah, an Iran-backed terror group in Lebanon, to the same standard.
